  1. [quote name='Ziphoblat' timestamp='1323129161' post='1459750'] ...now if only somebody would buy my Stingray. [/quote] What Stingray is it?
  2. [quote name='Ziphoblat' timestamp='1323127208' post='1459713'] Does the 55-01 come with a case? Also, without meaning to sound rude, am I missing something? The retail price for a new 55-01 at the moment, after a quick search, appears to be cheaper than this second-hand one you have listed here... I'm not well-informed on Laklands, and was just wondering if there was something I wasn't aware of. [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This 2005 bass has been upgraded with Nordstrand 'Fat Stacks' which are amazing in humbucking or single coil and a US bartolini preamp which is much better/flexible than the stock Asian one.

  5. Sorry sold. [quote name='sk8' post='1106029' date='Jan 28 2011, 11:26 AM']where abouts in brizzle are you?[/quote]
  6. Tom, No would prefer to sell together. J [quote name='Dr_Tom' post='1100987' date='Jan 24 2011, 04:29 PM']Hi, would you consider selling the footswitch separately? Cheers Tom[/quote]
  7. Anyone want to take my RH450 + Foot switch off my hands for the very reasonable price of £650 + shipping (or free collection). The amp has only been used once and is still in the original packaging, so not a mark on it. I'm in Bristol, no trades please. John PS This item is now £985 from Bass Direct, so you would save £335 !!!
  8. I still have the Shuker bass for trade!!! [attachment=46056:DSC03732.JPG]
  9. [quote name='budget bassist' post='782728' date='Mar 22 2010, 08:53 PM']damn, i definitely couldn't tempt you to trade this for my streamer then??!! It's stunning! (p.s - i hope the "some guy" comment was a joke )[/quote] My warped sense of humour!!! Thanks for the offer but I'm really looking for cash. J

  11. I use Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings on my 34" scale Stingray 5 and I'm really happy with them, I know that they are not evryone's cup of tea but for me they are great. I am looking for a spare bass, possibly a Lakland which of course is 35" scale and I am wondering if the EB Reg slinky's are going to be long enough. At present on my Stingray the windings on the B string go about 20mm past the nut which presumably on a 35" scale bass with through body stringing would leave them short?? Has anyone else come across this issue, maybe I'm worrying about nothing but I dont want to buy a new bass then have to go through a whole range of new strings to find something I like. Any comments would be helpfull. Thanks J
  12. Will consider a trade for a Lakland 55-02.......
  13. [quote name='loweringthetone' post='477985' date='May 2 2009, 10:01 PM']These are FAB !! Ive had one and they are very high quality instruments. They were Yam's top 5 stringer back then, superbly built, and everything was top notch from the quilted maple to the ebony fingerboard to the NE preamp which gives a range of good tones. Not a raw rock bass but does smooth pure and sophisticated in spades. Lovely smooth finished fingerboard, I found mine an absolute delight to play. PS Youve got some nasty looking dings on the fence there........nothing too much on the bass though. PPS have I earnt my pint yet ?[/quote] A pint plus a chaser!! lol
